The Ledges Golf Club in South Hadley is tucked away in the Pioneer Valley, an area of western Massachusetts known for its lush, rolling hills. It is a favorite amongst locals since it is one of the best values in the region. The course enjoys scenic views that stretch to Mt. Tom and the Holyoke Range. It is on the shorter side at just over 6,500 yards from the back tees, but the dramatic changes in elevation make it seem much longer. Most of the greens are raised with steeply sloped sides, making accuracy essential since missing them by even just a few feet will result in a serious penalty. The golf course has a heavily wooded front nine that seamlessly transitions into a more open back nine featuring links-style holes. The Ledges is a shotmaker's course that offers several interesting risk-reward opportunities.

Great value

Even though we got to the course after tea timethe staff was very accommodating in getting us off. The course was in very good shape and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. I would not hesitate to go back and play there again

beautlful course

I didn't play that well but the course was in good shape for this time of year. Enjoyed playing here anyway as the view was great and the company was as well. Has to be one of the most beautiful courses around. The only downer was the amount of sand on the greens which made putting difficult.

Plush

The Ledges is in the best shape out of any of its competitors. Greens are on the way back after an aeration last week. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are usually plush. If I had to nitpick, the sand is a bit rocky and the rough is inconsistent, but I'd be reaching. I hate giving it a good review because I don't want the secret to get it how nice it is here.

Greens

Course is beautiful, although they were in the process of sanding and aerating the greens. The staff was upfront about the issue before teeing off and it did not have much of an impact

Fairways need work

The course was in overall good shape other than most of the fairways which had a bunch of burnt out spots or just non-maintained care. I understand for the most part that NE is in a drought, but these areas look more like care issues rather than water issues. The fairways need work !

Along the Connecticut River

A beautiful setting with views of Mt. Tom to the west. Lots of variety in course layout and a lovely patio for dining at the 19th. Played with the Safari Club of W. Mass.

Nicely kept

This course looked great! The layout was fun and it was in good shape. The greens had just been aerated but other then that. The pace of play was brutal! I was a single player and it took almost three hours to complete 9!

Premium Experience

First time playing this course, played 18 in the afternoon with a buddy after we had played 18 holes at another nearby course that morning. Was initially struck by the clubhouse and incredible view of Mt Tom - beautiful! Would be an absolute must play during the fall foliage. The gentleman in the clubhouse was very friendly and professional and the twilight rate for 18 with a cart is an excellent price.

The course was in great shape save for a few of the short par 3 greens, which were fairly beat up, but that is to be expected as they see a ton of tee shots. Excellent variety along the course and a number of opportunities to score if you are a longer hitter. Features a couple par 5s that are reachable in two. Great course design with lots of risk/reward propositions, my favorite being the 4th par 4, a short drivable par 4 if you can carry the ball 250y. It is guarded by water right up to the green, obtainable eagle if you have the guts to go after it, or you can play it safe to the fairway that runs along the water to the right. Lots of uphill and downhill shots, fairway bunkers, fescue, trees, water- excellent variety and characteristics. Not many area courses have this much to offer in the sense of variety and spectacular views. Even the cart drive on a boardwalk style cart path through everglades to access holes 5-8 was very cool. A private country club feel and quality at muni prices. Highly recommended, will absolutely be back soon!

Very nice layout

My husband and I played this course for the first time. It was a fun, but challenging course. We wish the yardage was displayed better. All in all it was a great value. We would play again.

The Ledges is a scenic course in the pioneer valley.

I played the Ledges with the Safari group last Wednesday and enjoyed my round very much. First of all the staff were very accommodating prior to our round. During the round the club pro made the effort to drive around the course and stop and ask how we were doing. The course was in excellent shape. I found the greens to be fast but very consistent. I have played this course many times and never get tired of the fabulous view of Mt Tom , the Holyoke Mountain Range and the Skinner House.

Another very enjoyable day

I have played Ledges many times in the past. It is my favorite local course. I is challenging enough but still very playable. I played Monday and the pace was very slow, stuck behind some very slow player and at the turn a group jumped in front of us. Wednesday I was with the now famous Safari Club. Every thing went so smooth from start to finish. The greens were in their excellent condition and the fairways were surprisingly green in spite of the drought. They use their ponds to keep the water flowing. Afterward had a great meal in the clubhouse. I always recommend the Ledges to anyone in the area or those who are willing to drive a little.

Great conditions

The course offers private course conditions at public prices. Even though the course gets a lot of play the maintaince staff does a great job keeping up with the conditions. If you want a course that gives you a chance to test your game this is it. Keeping the ball in the short grass is a must and penalizes wayward tee shots. You will definitely need every club in the bag and will give you many options on how to play the hole.

Challenging Course

Played this yesterday with the Safari Club. Great course. Very interesting layout with scenic views. No two holes are alike. Course was in excellent condition from tee boxes to fairways to greens. Staff was very accommodating. Special kudos to the Pro, Jim Falco. He was there when we arrived in the morning, helping folks with their clubs and getting them organized in their carts. He also checked in on us during the round to ensure that the pace of play was good. It was, as this was the best pace that we've had all year. The Ledges is lucky to have Jim on board as he is a great representative.
